Beautiful Sunday

There is nothing better than a breakfast cooked over an open fire.!!!We had such a perfect Sunday morning I fired up the BBQ pit and cooked bacon,eggs and fresh grown fried potatoes with onions.OH SO GOOD.

Our older daughter and her 2 sons were here over night.I love when they come to visit.Always sad when they go home.They have been adopted by a dog.She is a sweet heart.I helped to name her Sadie.It will be sad if the owners come to claim her. They have all become attached to her already. They have called the animal rescue to find out if any one has called about a missing dog.

About Me

Older than I want to be.I am a widow, mother, grandmother, who loves to cook and care for my family and home. I was married to my highschool sweetheart for 52 years.We have 2 grown sons and 2 grown daughters and six grandchildren 3 of each.ages 22-8.We have 2 great grand children 1 of each.
I will from time to time get on my box and complain or comment on a current affair.
Besides gardening, my craft is making and oil painting cloth dolls, with Helen Pringle and Emma Adams as my inspiration.
I enjoy re purposing things and collect lots of things.I do needle work. I also love to listen to books on tape while I work.
This year I am downsizing.
There is an old saying "you collect for the first 1/2 of your life and try to get rid of the second 1/2.It is true. The downsizing is taking longer than I thought but I keep at it.I still love all my vintage and antique stuff. I will share it from time to time.
I have discovered I really like making doll quilts so stay tuned for a bit about my quilting.

Living in America

Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free!

Thomas Jefferson

"A wise and frugal government,which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of the labor the bread it has earned-this is the sum of good government."Thomas Jefferson
